The microstructures of B-bearing cast steel containing 0.8-1.2 wt.%B, 0.8-1.2 wt.%Cr, 1.0-1.5 wt.%Mn, 0.6-1.0 wt.%Si and 0.10-0.25 wt.%C have been characterized by means of optical OM, SEM, EPMA and XRD. The solidification structure of B-steel consists of pearlite, ferrite, martensite and boride (Fe2B), while the hardness is 1430-1480 HV. Borides distribute along the grain boundary in the form of eutectic. Fine lath martensite and eutectic Fe2B can be obtained by water quenching at 1223 K-1273 K. The hardness and impact toughness of the B-steel exceed 55 HRC and 150 kJ/m2, respectively. The abrasion resistance determined using a pin abrasion tester is obviously higher than that of the martensitic cast steel and nears to the high chromium white cast iron.

The mining industry exerts ever increasing demand for components with high wear resistance to the extent that plain ferrous alloys are falling short. Innovative metal-matrix composites non-ferrous metals have been widely researched and used. Casting composites based on ferrous alloys pose monumental challenges in casting. First, the density differential results in large buoyant forces on the ceramic such that unless a rigid structure is configured, the less dense ceramic floats on the metal stream. Second, the poor wetting properties between metal and ceramic will result in inferior bonding of the matrix, hence separation of solids in service. The paper attempts to improve the bonding characteristics of zirconia and alumina through wettability studies. High-chromium white cast iron was used as a substrate. The wetting behavior of molten iron on the substrates of zirconia and alumina was investigated. The study shows that alumina is poorly wetted with copper and nickel; the wetting angles were higher than 90°. Thus, the envisaged coating of alumina with copper or nickel prior to casting of ferrous melts will not significantly alter or improve wettability of alumina. Between copper and nickel, nickel has better bonding with alumina than copper. Titanium in high-chromium white cast iron was found to improve the wetting characteristics on alumina. The wetting angle decreased with increased titanium content.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of slurry concentration on the erosion behavior of AISI 5117 steel and high-chromium white cast iron by using a whirling-arm rig. In this study, the slurry erosion mechanism with particle concentration has been studied. Design/methodology/approach The tests were carried out with particle concentrations in the range of 1-7 Wt.%, and the impact velocity of slurry stream was 15 m/s. Silica sand with a nominal size range of 500-710 µm was used as an erodent. The study revealed that the failure mode was independent of concentration. Findings The results showed that the erosion rate decreases with the increase in particle concentration and the variation in the reduction depends on the material. It was found that the variation of fractal dimension calculated from slope of linearized power spectral density of eroded surface image for different concentrations can be used to characterize the slurry erosion intensity in a similar manner to the erosion rate. It was also found that the variation of fractal dimension versus concentration of sand has a general trend that does not depend on magnification factor. Originality/value Using the gravitational measurement and image analysis, the variation of the wear with slurry concentration has been analyzed to investigate the implicated mechanisms of erosion during the process.
